The Browns Bay predator wept like a child as the mother of his tiniest victim, a mere toddler, laid bare the agony his vile actions have inflicted.
“This man’s a menace,” she declared, her voice echoing the collective outrage of a community betrayed.
“The only peace we’ll find is with him locked away deep and for long.”
Cooper, caught in the web of his own twisted desires, blubbered out apologies from the dock, but the Crown prosecutor wasn’t buying the act.
Cooper’s played the blame game – trying to twist the narrative against his victims, in a shocking display of heartlessness.
Kevin Gubb revealed Cooper’s dark triad of terror: child abuse, violence against women, and a series of sickening invasions of privacy against a teen.
The police raid on his North Shore home unearthed over a thousand images and videos of child exploitation, alongside footage that no sane mind could fathom, including extreme violence and bestiality.
Among the most heinous of his crimes, Cooper used his own phone to create disturbing material involving an 18-month-old boy and a 6-year-old girl, and secretly filmed a young woman in moments most private, further violating her with his depraved acts.
The young woman, whose dreams of modeling were shattered by Cooper’s abuse, shared her torment in court, revealing how the incident left her feeling “soulless,” her life marred by anxiety and depression.
Another victim, previously entangled in a relationship with Cooper, recounted horrific tales of being strangled, beaten, and tortured, painting a picture of a man who relished in inflicting pain and fear.
But justice, though delayed, was not denied. Cooper’s lawyer tried to play the sympathy card, blaming his client’s meth habit and troubled past for his monstrous behaviour. But Judge Gubb, while acknowledging Cooper’s hollow apologies, focused instead on the profound and devastating impact of his crimes on his victims.
Cooper’s name was also added to the sex offenders register.
